Jalie & Destin: portraits // paris, tx child portrait photographer

"I'm afraid to grow up because
somtimes
it seems like things
will never feel
this beautiful
again....."

This is Jalie and Destin. They joined me in the grand adventure of traipsing through fields, chasing grasshoppers, climbing a huge pecan tree that had fallen in a storm a few days before; {let it be known that while they climbed, I attempted to step on a low limb and I fell. Me standing, and me laying on ground. Bam. Three second transition. My camera flew out of my hand landing some 2 feet or so away from me. The world grew silent, all I heard was the thud it made when it hit the ground and the faint crackling of all my bones that could've broken. I also heard my mother yell, "Is your camera okay?!?!" I have now become second to the evidence of my pricey investment in the Canon company. Yes. My camera is okay. And, I am too for anyone who wondered. ;)}
Best of all we basked together in delectable warm glowy unbelievably golden sunlight. They brought their cuteness, I brought aforementioned precious camera, and together we made some beautiful images that make my heart go pitter patter. :) :) 
Mr. Serious. ;)
Miss Jalie is a true beauty. :)
Jalie wanted pictures in her masquerade costume. Isn't it neat? :D P.S. I typed that without any spell check assistance. Can I get a high five, somebody?! 
He's a country boy. hehe ;)

A bit of work on the vlog will probably start today. I have lots and lots of portraits to share. My grandmother has been in the hospital and is still dealing with some side effects. I work once a week. I, like, seriously need to write in my journal and read a book at some free moment {maybe that 25th hour that we don't have in our day, huh?} And today is my first day of senior year. {Deep breath.} Goal number one: Don't get overwhlemed. ;) Lord willing, It will all play out soon, but I'm taking it one step at a time. SO, thank you all for being awesome, and following this crazy adventure that is my life. :) I like y'all alot and appreciate your sweetness. You seriously deserve a cookie or something. :D

  7. Oh my word Allix, these were just stunning. Seriously though, everytime I look at your pictures I want to be there with you. These were just amazing, wonderful, and beautiful. You definitely did an amazing job at capturing a single moments beauty.
    And Destin... Can someone say ADORABLE?!? He reminds me of my little cousin Jacob :)
    I loved #17, 21, 22, 29, the one of the path leading to the dock with the tree, and my favs were the ones of Destin in the cowboy outfits. No those ones are keepers :D
